Online voting for DW’s Klick! competition begins

Deutsche Welle called for photo submissions from around the world in connection with its theme of this year’s international media congress, “The Future of Growth – Economic Values and the Media”. More than 350 pictures were submitted from all corners of the globe, especially from Asia.

The jury has narrowed the selection down to approximately 100 pictures, from which voters will pick the top ten finalists by May 30, when online voting will end. Votes can be cast at www.dw-gmf.de/klick.

The ten finalists will be on display at the Global Media Forum from June 17 – 19 in Bonn, Germany, where conference participants will choose the photo competition’s overall winner.

Deutsche Welle expects more than 2,000 participants from around the world to attend the meeting to share their views in some 50 workshops and plenary sessions, which will explore steps towards a sustainable and value-oriented economy.
